Description
'The Nigger of the 'Narcissus' and Other Tales' by Joseph Conrad brings together the novella 'The Nigger of the 'Narcissus'', along with several of Conrad’s shorter works. The title novella, first published in 1897, follows the crew of the merchant ship *Narcissus* during a difficult voyage from Bombay to London, examining the tensions, loyalties and divisions that emerge among the sailors when one of their companions falls seriously ill. Conrad uses the confined world of the ship to explore isolation, solidarity, leadership and the pressures placed on individuals within a group. The collection also demonstrates his characteristic interest in the sea, human psychology and moral uncertainty, making it a useful volume for readers interested in Conrad’s early fiction.
